Eric Schlosser, “Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market”

McCrary Theatre

7:30 p.m.

As much as 10% of the American economy is comprised of illegal “underground” enterprises, according to author and Atlantic Monthly correspondent Eric Schlosser. Although rarely discussed in the newspaper, Schlosser tackles it with the same in-depth analysis that made his Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All American Meal a bestseller. Reefer Madness spotlights marijuana, migrant labor, and pornography, three of the most thriving black market industries, and analyzes the often-tenuous place each holds in society.
